Email'nDrive™ F.A.Q.

iPhone

Will Email'nDrive™ read my personal email?

Email'nDrive™ works with every email provider. On iPhone, the application works well with and has been tested on Gmail, AOL, Hotmail and MobileMe.

Email'nDrive™ can automatically setup Gmail, AOL, Hotmail and MobileMe user accounts on startup. All you need to do is to enter your email account password.
For other types of email accounts, configuring Email'nDrive™ takes a few more steps. You will need to know a few things about your account settings and sometime it may not detect those settings. If you don't use one of the providers mentioned above, Email'nDrive™ may ask you to enter your POP or IMAP settings and SMTP settings to configure your email account.

To find information about these settings, visit the support pages of your email provider, or do a Google search (example: "yourprovider.com SMTP settings")
Please note that for the moment, our iPhone application does not seem to support some email providers and Exchange email accounts. We cannot guarantee the service will work properly with all email providers.

If you experience problems with your email account settings you can try:
- To turn off the option "USE SSL" for the incoming and outgoing mail and the "Authentification"
- For a POP account, change the incoming port to 110 and outgoing port to 25
- For an IMAP account change the incoming port to 143 and the outgoing port to 587.
- If you need to use SSL the port should be : POP3 over SSL Port: 995 or IMAP4 over SSL Port: 993 and for SMTP over SSL Port: 465

Is there a way to make my Exchange account work with Email'nDrive?

An Exchange account will only work if the IMAP protocol is enabled. In order to do so, you will need to verify with your email provider or IT department at work if such feature is available. Make sure to note the following information: incoming and outgoing server, port numbers and if the SSL feature is activated or not.

Why does the app appear to be working only with a WiFi connection?

Email'nDrive is working fine on 3G and Edge network. Please make sure that:

You have at least 2 bars of network reception

You have a valid data plan

In Settings/General/Network "Cellular Data" is ON

In Settings/General/Network "Data Roaming" is ON when you're out of the country (might induce roaming charges from your carrier)

I can't seem to make my Gmail account work with Tex'nDrive

Email'nDrive automatically sets a Gmail account account to IMAP by default. To change it to POP, please go in the settings. You'll need to change the following information :

Choose POP
host name : pop.gmail.com
Port 995
SSL ON

SMTP : smtp.gmail.com
Port 587
SSL ON
Authentification ON

My Yahoo Account is not working with the application

Go into your Yahoo account settings and check if you can enable the POP protocol. If not, it means your Yahoo account does not offer free POP service and that you would need to upgrade to a Yahoo plus account (approximately 20$/year).
If your Yahoo account does not offer free POP service you will get the following message when setting up Email'nDrive: "Sorry, your Yahoo Mail account does not allow POP access. You need to upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus."

I'm trying to check for new messages but I get an error message

The application automatically checks for new email every 2-5 minutes, if you click too often, you will get a connection error for trying too many times.

I downloaded Email'nDrive™ from the App Store but it's not showing on my iPhone

Once your download is completed, make sure to sync your iPhone with iTunes to load the application on your device. If your iTunes is not set to sync all applications automatically make sure to check the box next to “Email'nDrive™”.

Also, it seems the iPhone holds a maximum of 9 pages of applications. If you have more than 9 pages of applications, please delete some other application to make room for Email'nDrive™.

Please note any specific inquiries regarding setting up your iPhone should be addressed to Apple itself and not Email'nDrive™.
